This "manager" here once tried to introduce the testing team to a new concept he heard about. So he wrote it on the board for dramatic effect: HADDOCK TESTING. He obviously meant ad-hoc testing. He was seriously PWN3D be even the most junior tester until he left in a blaze of humiliation a year later...Originally posted by: Bruck

We had an intern "presented" to us, as he was a neighbor to the associate superintendent. He knew quite a bit about computers, but he always slept on the job. He was very fat, and very lazy. He would fall asleep just sitting in a chair, even with people around. A few examples..
1) He was asleep while on a computer, he fell asleep mid mouse click. The right click window was open on an icon, his finger was on the right click button.
2) He fell asleep in a lab with about 30 students in it. We didn't wake him up, and just left.
3) We were unboxing about 100 computers, and his job was to install NIC cards in it. In the span of 6 hours, he installed 3 NIC cards.
4) He pulled up into the parking lot after lunch, and immediately fell asleep. His truck was still running. We had to wake him up after 30 minutes. When asked what he was doing , he said in a post sleep haze "uh..i was just thinking.
5) We had him deliver a printer cable to a school. 3 hours later we recieved a call saying he had an "accident" and had to go home and change. A number "2" accident.
6) We told him we were going to a high school, and to meet us there. He never showed up. He called us an hour later saying he was lost. We gave him directions, he finally made it. Mind you, he has lived in this town for 20 some years, and got lost.
7) He fell out of his chair twice. This was funny to see, if you were there.
8) He fell asleep in our shop, and the big boss walked in. He saw him there asleep, shook his head in shame, and walked away.
He was never fired, but he was under a "contract" per say. We did not rehire him.

sounds like he may have had a medical condition.
anyway.
I was a manager for a small company. we had a few computer operators. one for each shift. well the first shift guy would always complaing about the 3d shift guy. complaining about stuff being dirty and his work not done.
well me and another manager reviewed tapes. well we have amachine that vibrates and evens out stacks of papers. well he was climbing up on top of it and err..wraping his penis in rags and putting it IN/on the machine. he would do that a few times a night.
So my boss made ME fire him. she didn't want to heh. not that i blame her i didn't want to either.

Even *he* should know to use lids on drinks when in a computer area.Originally posted by: ThePresence
I was running like a nutcase to get to my desk, because I had something I forgot to email to the printer and the presses were about to close. I fly through swinging doors and the CEO is right there with a cup of coffee in his hand. It actually flew into his face. I felt like such a moron.

Wouldn't have been that bad, exept that a ~3MB video going out across several thousands of addy's kinda brings everything to a screeching halt. On top of that, we have several people who travel, and when you VPN in and connect to mail, you have to download your messages in order to continue. God only knows how much that stupid video actually cost the company.
She got fired later the same day. PWN3D.
